Online shopping isn’t only my no.1 fave past time, but it is also a big source of DIY inspo.
Maybe it’s my creative mindset, but when I look at various products that I lush over w/ seriously steep price-tags, I think to myself- hmm… how can I make that myself for a fraction of the price? Most of the time, it’s pretty simple stupid. Way to simple to even justify buying over DIYing.
I am not going to name any names or throw any one under the bus, but a couple weeks back I stumbled upon an amethyst & quartz picture frame that rocked my world, & then I saw the price tag. Just under $600 dollars. Not kidding. A picture frame… for $600 dollars.
Well… I have a place where I buy raw crystals online for a great price & I have an old picture frame. The next step seemed pretty obvious.
DIY > Buy, unless it’s a hand made product- in which I say, support your local crafter ;)!!
